Moto G is the Motorola DVX?

On Tuesday, we told you that Motorola had trademarked the name Moto G. This led to speculation that a Google Edition version of the Motorola Moto X was coming while others heard that it was a device heading to Verizon. According to a source said to be close to Google's wholly owned subsidiary, the Moto G is none other than the Motorola DVX. For those unaware, this is a low priced smartphone with different colored backs that can be swapped, and with looks that immediately call to mind a smaller version of the Moto X.

Expected to be launched globally with a focus on emerging markets, the device is equipped with a 4.5 inch LCD screen and is powered by Motorola's X8 Computer System . Supporting a dual SIM setup, the unit would be priced between $200 and $250 off contract. We expect to see the Motorola DVX (aka the Moto G?) launch before the year is through.

What would a Moto tablet offer that Asus or Nexus 7/10 wouldn't? The big advantages of Moto phones over the competition are the stock UI, antennas, and call quality. None of those matter much with a tablet.

$200-$250 is pretty awesome for a handset that comes with a X8 chipset. I've been eyeing different cheap handsets now that we're moving to ATT. I'm pretty surprised that there are so many dirt cheap GSM phones on the market like the Blu phones. I just noticed the Blu Studio 5.5 phones have been listed on eBay at only $169. Very cheap for a 5.5" phone. However the FWVGA resolution and quad core Mediatek processor aren't preferable, but when you're looking at something so cheap still it's kinda amazing. Also I'm curious when one of the big manufacturers will release something to complete against the $99 Nokia 520. Amazing how prices are working their way down.

Except Apple who doesn't think the iPhone is profitable enough in France where they raised prices $16. Wasn't it 16 BILLION in profit they made the quarter before? I mean even their iPhone 5C which is made out of old melted down easter eggs costs way too much. "Unapologetically Easter Eggy." I'm not a Occupy Wall Street hippy but Apple just screams out corporate greed to me... But hey if the consumer is willing to put it on a credit card who am I to argue?
